1 Don't reveal too much personal information when talking to someone new - spilling your innermost secrets and desires might scare people off. Start with small talk and swap views on things before moving on to more personal information.

2 Learn to be a good listener - conversations are a two-way thing.

3 Eye contact shows you're interested in the person you're talking to - smiling will also help you look more relaxed (and attractive), and make the other person feel relaxed, too.
